<br/><br/> Abstract: Karl Benz’s invention of an automobile with a built-in internal combustion engine in 1885 caused a worldwide revolution, not only in the technological field but also in all segments of human life, such as economics, culture, family structure, urbanization, women and youth emancipation, and climate change. A car, however, seems more suited to solve mobility problems than to serve educational goals. The rise of personal computers and network facilities in the second half of the 20th century eventually converged in a digital World Wide Web (WWW) that revolutionized information development and exchange. Increasing miniaturization, integrated functionalities, and wireless use now comprise a communication hyperspace in a global world. In contrast to the gas-fueled engine, information and communication technologies suggest sensitivity toward lifelong human learning issues. This is what the Handbook of Research on Educational Communications and Technology is all about.<br/>
